Deer Crossing

Deer crossing Pulse quickens There's one now Drat it. Wasn't ready... Deep breath Good...Exhale Again...Ready? Ready! Where are they? Tension builds Dang. Had to hiccup Timing is everything OK. Deep breath again The old familiar drill Hands are clammy Settle down Can't miss another chance Steady now Here come two Pause Aim Shoot! Got 'em! Perfect photo!

Frozen, like a deer in headlights. Love the ending, for a second there I thought you were a hunter. Like how you did this. Nice, Gershon. Be well...Charlie

Nope, never a hunter, nor a bricklayer either. Just everthing in-between. LOL. Thanks, Charlie! :) Gershon

Thanks, Lin! I like your use of the word 'executed,' in the comment. Certainly fits this one. Smiles, Gershon
